Offendahl Family Funds Tick Research

A cool million bucks from the Offendahl Family Foundation is fueling groundbreaking tick research at the University of Nevada Reno, launching a new Level-Two Arthropod Containment Facility designed to give scientists the space and precision they need to study ticks from egg to adult. This upgrade will help researchers like Professor Monika Guilia-Nuss tackle the real threat: ticks that can carry seven different pathogens, including Lyme and Anaplasmosis. Motivated by personal experience with Lyme disease, the Offendahls are helping scientists better control tick populations and stop disease spread — even if you’re on the West Coast, tick checks still matter this summer.
